Hi all,
I'm new to this mailing list. I upgraded a Debian Hurd system
recently and encountered some problems with apt and dpkg. Each time
when I use apt to install/upgrade packages, it always fails after
downloading packages and beginning to call dpkg to handle them:
Preconfiguring packages ...
Could not exec dpkg!
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)
But if I mannually execute dpkg to handle the cached packages under
/var/cache/apt/archives/, dpkg works properly. And this problem does
not exist several weeks before. Related system and packages
information follows:
GNU hurd 0.3 GNU-Mach 1.3.99/Hurd-0.3 i686-AT386 GNU
ii hurd 20071119-1
ii gnumach 2:1.3.99.dfsg.cvs20070809-1
ii dpkg 1.14.16.6
ii dpkg-dev 1.14.16.6
ii apt 0.7.10
ii apt-utils 0.7.10
ii libc0.3 2.7-7
By the way, I have also report it as a bug #466268, but I think it
might be better to post it on mailing list. So this post appears.
Thanks.
